NEWS: Solar and wind tax credits are back for a limited time.

  • Quick relief: A federal judge nixed the Trump administration’s move to strip the standard 5% safe harbor rule from solar and wind projects >1.5 MW. But developers better act fast—to get tax breaks, solar and wind projects must begin construction by July 4 of this year.

  • Plus, a big battery first: Last week, the 125-MW Tumbleweed battery project in California became the country’s first major installation to discharge power for up to eight hours at a time. That’s twice as long as most energy storage facilities, bringing clean energy closer to 24/7 dispatchable power.
